The Sun. — London, England, 1826-03-29 00:00:00

SUN. L SUN. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCII 29, 1826. We have received the Etoile of Sunday, which contains no foreign intelligence of interest. Let ters from Bucharest announce the passage of General .GUILLEMINOT on the 6th instant; he quitted Constantinople on the 17th of February. A Telegraphic Dispatch announces his arrival at Strasburgh on the 24(11 instant. Mr. STRATFORD CANNING had not arrived when General GUILLEMINOT left Constantinople. Letters from Corfu, dated the 17th February, announce, the recall of the CAPSTAN PACIIA, 41 t the special desire of I IsItAILIAI PACIIA, who imputes the failure of the attacks on Mis,so longhi, to the imbecile conduct of the CAPSTAN PACIIA. Another attack was to be made on Missolonghi on the 20th February. The latest quotations of Rentes on Saturday, were —Five per Cents., 96f. 35c.—Three per 1 Cents., 64f. 85c. There was a very animated discussion on Sa• turday, in the French Chamber of Deputies ea the presentation of a petition. from . Havre, respecting, the Slave Trade, of which the Prayer was, in substance, to render more Oricacious the measures for suppressing a traf fic, 66 the impunity of which is a blot on the French name." From the reiterated complaint by our Naval Commanders on the African station of the atrocities perpetrated by French Traders, and the impossibility of restraining the vessels of that !ration, by any but French authority— we have very naturally inferred that ) as regards vessels of this country, the traffic in Slaves has been effectually suppressed. We know indeed, that from the indefatigable and • S ncere activity of our commanders on the coast o r A frica ) a Slave vessel amenable to British • authority and surveillance, has scarcely a pOssi bithy of escape. It appears, however, from the furious tirad e of a M. DUDON, which will ho found la our report of the proceedings, that " it is not Prance that carries on the Slave Trade— "it is England. British ships take Slaves on the Coast of Africa as usual, and sell them as cc op slaves. Ninety thousand slaves, were last year introduced into the Isle of France, with the a knowledge, or connivance, of the Functionaries 46 of Great Britain I" Of this information M. Moor, finds proof in the English Papers—an assertion which may create a suspicion, that 'to those organs of informatio n , M. DUDON is an .absolute stranger. The English P apers have never omitted to give Extracts from the Par. liamentary Documents containing authentic de. Mails from our naval commanders, of th e pro. Iress of the trade—end from which it appears, that while the coast swarms with Slave vessel from 'Prance and Portimil—which continue to ont o tage humanity with impunity—an English slave ship has so little chance of escape, that `Capture has become a rare occurrence. It is sickening to find a representative of the Great Nation, so deplorably ignorant, as to talk of an int- Portation of 90,000 negroes in a single year, the "lue of which, at only WU' each, would be *nine millions sterling It is. &tatPd in a late number of the Memorial .13ordelais, that the Princess MARIE ISARELLE, the itegent, manifest, a most decided hostility to the :Project co ntemplated hv the QUEEN her mother. From the continued indisposition of the PRINCESS REGENT, the duties of the office devolve, principally, on the Duke of CADA VAL, who appears to be in very high esti mation at Lisbon, where he is respected alike, for his integrity and talents. The other members of the Regency—especially the patriarch, appear also to participate in the confidence of the nation. At Lisbon, not the slightest apprehension is at present felt, from any possible effort of the QUEEN'S party. We have received a series of Frankfort_Papers to the 22d instant. - A communication frum Leipzig, of the 16th, gives a 'gloomy picture of the distresS occasioned by the failure, of the house of A Lou cciur at Zeitz, which is said to have stopped payment, solely by reason of ina bility to find means of paying the C 4 wages of their workmen till the end of the fair." The -number of hands employed by, this house does not op pear to have exceeded 800; the stoppage, nevertheless, appears to have affected many houses of considerable eminence. In Eng land, the failure of a manufacturer employing 800 hands would naturally' cause distre: s in the immediate neighbourhood, but taken by itself, it would be comparatively unfelt by the trading community. The distress represented to have been thus occasioned by the failure of a single es tablishment, may serve to slaew the insignificance of the manufacturing system on the. Continent, as compared with that of England. fri a late Sit ting of the German Diet, the Act regulating the Navigation of the Elbe, became a subject of consideration. _lt is gratifying to find, that the free Navigiition of that tine River, is not less an object of attention than the Rhine. A Convention, signed by the Plenipotentiaries of the . ditTereni power's interest.d in regulating the navigation of the Elbe, was preiented by the President, to - be deposited in the ar chives of .the Confederation. Thus, the two great rivers, which give access to the heart of Germany, are now open to the yes. sels of all nations, and freed, from the oppressive and vexatious interruptions, and interdictions, by the which the internal Commerce of Germany has for centuries been harrassed PRICE OF STOCKS THIS Bank Stock .,. shut 3 per Cent.

Extract from the Bth Sitting of the German Diet, held the 9th March.—The Minister, President, reminds the Assembly, that in the Sitting of the 7th Feb., 1822, he communicated the Act regulating the navigation of the Elbe, concluded at Dresden the23dJune,lB2l,and which was carried into effect the Ist March 1822. In the 30th Article of that treaty it was stipulated, thateom time to time Commissioners from the Etates on the hanks of the Elbe should meet, for the purpose of seeing that the Act was strictly observed, of remedying complaints, and of deliberating on such measures and regulations as, from the most recent ex perience, might be calculated to give increased facilities to the commerce and navigation of the Elbe. With this view, the first meeting of the Commissioners took place at Hamburgli in 1824, and agreed on some suppiemen 'tory regulations, which were signed by all the Plenipotentiaries the 18th Sept. 1024. This convention having obtained the ratification of all the States concerned, and these ratifications having been exchanged and deposited in the archives common to all the States, in the banks, in the Privy Imperial Aulic Chancery, and the Coriven. don itself having been carried into effect on the whole course of the Elbe, the Austrian liegation was then commanded to ac. quaint the Diet with this Convention. The Assembly ordered the Convention' to be deposited in the Archives of the Confederation. trxrcir, MAncrt 17. Ills Majesty has just fixed by an ordinance the organization of the Landwehr. LEIPSIG, MAIICII In. The fall of the house of Albrecht in Zeits, which employed above eight hundred workmen, is a severe blow to the credit of our Saxon manufacturers. Albrecht, of all our manufac turers, supplied our fairs with the finest manufactures of cotton and Merino wool. His insolvency greatly injures se veral Leipsig houses, which are still standing, as well as that of Reichenbach. It is reported that he has stopped pay. ment, solely because, in the late crisis, he could not find means to pay the weekly wages of his workmen till the end' of the fair. This house has assuredly not been jobbing in the funds, or been guilty of any extravagance, but the decline in the price of the cotton arid wool which had been pur chased at high rates, and the probability of low prices of goods at the next fair seem to have induced the head of that house io confess his temporary embarrassment through the stock in hand, and the outstanding debts are said to be very considerable. It is also said that measures have been adopted by the city and the Government that the business may be continued without interruption. Still it is evident that if Government does not effectually support the Bankers, or grant considerable loans directly to the Manufacturer, the present blow will for ever paralyse all the Saxon Manufactories and be followed by universal distress and poverty in the manufacturing districts. The Vienna, Augsburg, and Frankfort Jour. mils are silent as to the i n disposition of the Fun. peror of AUSTRIA, niul without intelligence from Russia, Turkey, or Greece.

Henry Denmeade of Limerick. Mrs. Kendall, one of the 'sur vivors, Is the daughter of Mr. Demneade : " Portsmouth, March 14, MS.

WT., after Cin (tering hunger and starvation for 32 days. Ten of our crew died. Three sailers; my Wife, And myself, and a young woman, a passenger, were saved. We were all very weak, but the kind attention of Lord Byron and his of& cers, for the eight days we have been on board, has almost brought tit to our natural strength. Lord Byron had nothing nourish ing or good on hoard .but what he gave us. I would be obliged to you to go the Mayor, and get him to return Lord Byron thanks for his kindness. A sea struck us' on the sth of Fe.; hruary, carried away our tiller, rudder, companion—stove in the stern counter, rudder-case, and swept the decks, but did not wash, at that time, one man overboard. In legs than two hours she was full of water, and 1 was obliged to cut away the masts to keep her from upsetting. • 'We were part of the time all hands on the main top, which was the only mast we had standing. I suppose you could not believe Mary could stand so much hardship, but she is now stronger than I am. For the first fifteen days we had not one dry stitch on us ; the latter part of the time living on human flesh, and for four or five days to. gether nothing to drink for want of rain. I think the night after we were picked up would have finished us all. Lord Byron was from the Sandwich Islands, after delivering the de, ceased King and Queen. " Joxx KEILDLI,."

BERKELEY STAG HUNT.

SPARRING. The Tennis Court yesterday was full of talent of every de. scription.„-money lenders, money stealers, returned lugger's, and thieves ,of every class preparing for the hulks. It was an over flowing Court, for the benefit of Brown, known only to the Loudon ring us having beaten Shelton. The order of the day was rhetoric rather than spurring, for, with the exception of Belcher and Eales, there was no set-to worthy notice. Sampson the Into Birmingham Youth, but now a man, who has fought Ward twice, invited Brown to set-to with him, in, terms rather energetic ,than elegant, ollserving that it was no use for them tip tap chaps to set-to.. He closed his blow-tip with offering to fight any man in Englund, with the exception of Jam Ward, for 100 sovereigns, there and then. Jem 'Ward next trod the boards, and stated that he was not then in fighting trim, but he had 1101. of his friends' money to fight any man in the world fer 5001. in three or four months. 'l'his stopped the mouths of all, and Brown left well satisfied with his day's play.

Yesterday Mr. GREEN, accompanied by his brother, made Ms 48th ascent v , from the Eagle Tavern Tea-gardens ) City-road. It being ex pected that a great concourse of people would assemble on the occasion, strong barriers were erected against the avenues leading to the gar dens, a precaution which in the sequel was found very useful,-for long 'before the hour fixed for the ascent, immense crowds had collected in the lane leading to the tavern, and i n o n part of the City-road in the front of it, and also in the fields at the back. On the whole, per haps, as great a number was collected on the present as on any former occasion during the last year—a circumstance which, when the fee quency of exhibitions of the kind is consider. ed, may excite surprise, and can only be ac. counted for from the curtailment or suppression which of late has taken place of many of the pos pular amusements - of the present period. The space within the garden was also every well filled, the price having been reduced to ls. with the ex ception of a small inner circle, in which the bal loon was fixed, the admission to which was In all, the number collected in the gardens could not be less than 1,000, among whom were a great proportion of very genteelly dressed persons of both sexes. A band was as usual stationed in the gardens, who, in the course of the afternoon, played a variety of favourite airs. The process of inflating the balloon was completed by noon, after which the preparations for the ascent were tardily proceeded with, it evidently being de signed to delay the ascent till us late an hour as could conveniently be done, and which was the more excusable us crowds of persons kept arriv ing long after four o'clock. Hy half-past four, however, the preparations were announced to be complete, and a pilot balloon was dispatched, which taking a north-easterly direction, was soon out of sight. In a few minutes afterwards, Mr. Green and his brother placed themselves in the car attached to the balloon. The signal for let ting go the ropes was then given, and the bal loon, after rising a height nearly of 200 feet per. pendicularly, so admirably to clear the trees and surrounding houses, bore away in the direction taken by its precursor, and mounting higher and higher, was in less than five minutes lost to bight. Although the wind was rather high for an ee l s,. (Mimi of this kind, the balloon did not oscillate in the least. At 10 o'clock last night Messrs. Green returned to the Eagle in the City-road.— It appears they had landed without any culty near Barking. Their ruturn was greeted with considerable applause. 110YAL CoutinG TiicATREO-4-Want of room prevented our noticing the re-opening of this beautiful house yesterday, which, for symote. try, convenience, and ornament, exceeds any thing of the kind in the United Kingdom. Upon the raising, of the curtain the performers were re.. ceived with loud cheering—Mr. DAvtuoti made a suitable acknowledgthent,, end commenced a witty Prelude, called The Manager's Vision. He goes to sleep On a sofa, while the principal characters in the pieces produced at this Theatre entered alternately, and recited a few! lines in character. Mrs. Davidge met a warm reception; ! Mrs. Young and Mrs. Weston were encored in the songs of " Mary Rosebud" and " Mrs. Glass." Miss Poole was the handsomest •Ilighlunder we ever saw, and Mrs,Rowbotham a fine Scotch !LAW. In. Blanchard and Elsgood fought the Drunken Combat well, amidst the most uproarious shouts of applause. This was a good beginning, and last night it was curtailed within the hour.— The music and selections do great credit to Mr. T.. Hughes, the Composer. The chorus was very effective : it was set to the tars of Judy O'Flanngan" and " Pawdeen O'Rafferty" transposed, now termed cc Blue Bonnets over the Border." This was followed by a ,new Melo-drame, called The Old Man of the Mountain, and very well performed, with the exception of thu Old Man, Mr. Hun tly not being sufficiently recovered from a severe rheumatic complaint, though he is expected to attend this Week.. The night's entertainments concluded with a grand Military Spectacle of The Massacre of RojahpOor, taken from incidents that (6. curred daring that sanguinary contest, the Burmese War, produced under the direction of au Officer who witnessed the achiev6. meats of the British troops. Among the many curiosities exhibited through this Piece, is the carriage of Ah-Ite-Wa&Tee, the Burmese King, drawn by an Elephant, a fac.simile of that exhibited in Piccadilly. This piece is well got up, and was well received throughout ; all did their duty, and were deservedly applauded. The curtain dropped at eleven o'clock last night, which must prove a great convenience to those living at a distance. The taste displayed in the appointments, the neatness of the stage boxes, the brilliancy the grand Chandelier, anti the tout mein* of of the gilded ornaments reflected from the whole, does great credit to the high spirit of the Manager, and the talents of the artists: COLIN-EXCHANGE, MARCH 29.—There is a very abort supply to this morning's market ' notwithstanding the trade is dull for every kind of Grain, and may be quoted nomi. nally at Monday's prices.
